Abstract:

When strain gage signals placed directly on long data lines are received by remote processing systems, they may be so attenuated, distorted and superimposed with noise that they no longer represent the parameter being measured. The author describes two types of signal conditioners which can be placed at the point of measurement to overcome these problems, and includes the advantages and limitations of each device. Author
